Yeah, I guess anything is possible.
But it really sounds like terminator, you know? The old artificial

It might actually be fun to make a joke map pack where all the popular sci
fi movie critters are in it. Trek, battlestar, predators, aliens,
terminators, batman, etc and so forth, lol.

to fight the borg, when that is done maybe they go nuts and continue
destroying federation ships.
